[rdiff-backup-users] python 2.3 issues

[jerad]

Newbie post forthcoming...

I am trying to get rdiff-backup working with Mandrake 9.2 and Python 2.3
(new to all of these).  I have tried the rpms for both 0.12.6 and 0.13.3,
but they both have dependencies on Python 2.2 (actually >= 2.2 and < 2.3).
 I saw the post in the archives that running the rpm with --nodeps would
drop everything in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-modules, so I installed it and
moved those to /usr/lib/python2.3/site-modules instead.  I also saw a post
from a while back saying everything was working as of 0.13.1 with Python
2.3.

Here is a trace from a simple local backup attempt after installing 0.13.3:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
